CHICAGO, ILL, March l5.-This
proved to be another sensational day
ia wheat. As the session advanced
the suspicion grew that the bull clique
were selling out their long wheat, and
the great quantities dumped on the
market appeared TO confirm this view.
The starting price for May delivery
was Sl5c, or &c lower than the closing
figure last night The market held
steady for long time, anal then ba.
gan to recede slowly under large offer.
Jugs. The market was very stubborn
at about S03c, ont the quantities Of
wheat which pressed for sale fnally |
became 30 large that shortly before |
noon the price dropped to 795i. 1t
held there steadily for short time,
when another deluge of wheat came
on the market aud the pit became the |
scens of half panic, There was a
sudden plunge to 7Sjc, the decline |
bringing out tremendous lots OF long
wheat and causing the announcement |
of the failure of one firm. During the |
decline commission houses were COM
PEELED to close out numerous trades |
for customers who's margins had ex.
pired. There was also free call
log of margins, all of which |
were prompt y responded to. The |
market rebounded from the inside |
figure even more rapidly than it had |
declined. "Shorts" who endesvored
to cover found little wheat on sale,
and the clique bull houses were open
buyers for large quantities. The mar
ket rallied to S0sc and stopped there
at l O'Clock. In the afternoon the |
market opened at S0Bc aud rose to SHE |
without stopping, finally closing at 81
98lic The clesrings from three At.
lantic ports aggregated 260, 900 bushels.
Receipts continue to be free, aggregat-
ing $50, 600 bushels at eleven points,
while the shipments from same points
aggregated 625,0 bushels. The corn
market ruled moderately steady early |
in the day, but fGally became heavy |
under large offerings, prices breaking |
oil l &c from opening figures, rallied &c |
and finally closed &c lower than yes
terday. Receipts continue free and
shipping demand moderate. Oats
ruled dull and slightly easier, closing
q shade. under yesterday, Inc spec,
ulative interest was ligHt, and there
was very little change in prices.
